Never had a dream this lonely
Where did everybody go?
Never had a dream this dark
Wake me up
Please make it so
Never had a broken spirit
I can not let this world go
Never had a broken wing
How do I fly?
I do not know

Lay feathered limbs upon the stones
My severed wings, my broken bones
I flew through fire and darkness cold
Here my tale ends, all has been told
Given to the wind
Sky burial

I give the night my final breath
For far too long I've been stalling death
I search beneath me, extend my claws
Step out of time, unbound be laws
Given to the wind
Sky burial

    The Owl is defeated. The album art shows The Owl blasted apart by the coming of dawn.

    Really though, no one wins. The album is, IMO a cautionary tale of two extremists fighting over nothing except their desire for what they want, with countless casualties of lesser creatures because of their vanity.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
